Freight Songtext / Lyric

TRUCKS:

Freight is great

Freight is great

We carry weight 'cause we are freight



We never make a fuss. We got the goods on us.

We take the loads from off the roads

And freight is great.



COACHES:

Couldn't stand gravel and sand,

Being ignored, no-one aboard,

No body complaining we were late again.

I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me.

Got to be a living, breathing passenger train.



TRUCKS:

Freight is great.

Freight is great.






TRUCKS / COACHES:

Freight

Couldn't stand gravel and sand,

Being ignored, no-one aboard,

Is great

Nobody complaining

We were late again.

We carry weight/I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me.

And freight is great/Got to be a living, breathing passenger train.

It's mommas and poppas/ it's commerce and hoppers,

It's daughters and sons/it's quarters and tons,

They get in your hair/it's the fun of the fair,

Freight!/Folks!/Tares!/Fares!

Passengers, commuters and mail/

Trees and meat, gravel and shale/

Are great, are great, are great, are great, are great!



ROCKY I:

I'm Rocky, there's lots like me.

ROCKY II:

I'm Rocky two.

ROCKY III:

I'm Rocky three.

ROCKIES:

The only time we get sick inside

Is when some bum hitches a ride.

We wait for a sharp corner to come

And open the door - bye bye bum!



TRUCKS:

Freight is great!



FLAT-TOP:

Flat-Top - who you looking at?

Yeah, there's bricks - what's wrong with that?

No, you're right, they don't all match.

Yeah they're heavy - here, catch!



TRUCKS:

Freight is great!



FLAT-TOP:

Come on, Dustin.



DUSTIN

I'm the big hopper, I'm not a box.



ROCKIES:

Yeah, your head is full of rocks.



DUSTIN

They ain't rocks

They're aggregates

And aggregates are really great

Aggregates are really great

Aggregates never complain

Bricks and mortar are thicker than water

It's great to be an aggregate train



CB:

At the back on every piece of track

I'm right behind you

Can I be of help at all?

Then simply call CB



Freight:

Hello, CB



CB:

Hello

The red caboose would like to be of use

To every truck and show the world that



FREIGHT:

Freight is great

Freight is great

Freight is great
